Discussion: Using a Practice-Level Logic Model to Focus Interventions and Achieve Desired Outcomes
While they may be more broadly used to analyze programs, logic models can also be applied in practice, when considering clients’ presenting problems and potential interventions. If you think back to your work earlier in the course with Tiffani, Jake, or Paula, how did you go about determining the intervention based on the problems and needs? Did you see a logical connection in your mind between those elements?
Logic modeling can help to make these connections explicitly clear. For example, perhaps you identify one problem as distrust between parent and adolescent. You observe that the need is a greater sense of trust, and that the underlying causes are history of abusive situations enabled by the parent, history of adolescent lying, and no model of healthy, trust-based parent-adolescent relationship. The intervention, then, might be family therapy to work through the history that has affected trust in the relationship. It might also include parenting classes on repairing a parent-teen relationship. The threads that weave through all of these elements are trust and relationship.
In this Discussion, you create a practice-level logic model of your own, based on the problems and needs that you identified last week.
To Prepare
Review the Learning Resources on the logic model, including the Logic Model Table document.
Consider the problems and needs that you identified last week and how those needs might be met by evidence-based interventions applied with clients.
By Day 3
Post a completed logic model (in table format) for a practitioner-level intervention based on the problems and needs that you identified last week. Be sure to link the areas across the table.
In the table, describe the types of problems, the client needs, the underlying causes of problems and unmet needs. Then describe interventions that would lead to a change in the presenting conditions. Identify the short- and long-term outcomes that you think would represent an improved condition.
Follow the table format with 1 to 2 paragraphs that elaborate on your practice-level model outline and cite resources that inform your views.
By Day 6
Respond to at least two colleagues by:
Offering respectful feedback on their logic model as if you were a member of their work group.
Identify strengths and potential weaknesses in the assumptions or areas that may require additional information or clarification.
Providing substantial information to assist your colleagues’ efforts such as:
Information to support their understanding of the problems and needs in this population
Suggestions related to intervention activities and potential outcomes
